I run down the hallway muttering curses at Joe for wasting my time.
Thank God Mrs. Perez came to my rescue,she is sweet old lady who works at the school's library.
She is very found of me because I usually help her during the weekends after cheer practice.
Fuck Joe for making me late.
Now Mr. Harrison is going to mad at me. I really pray the rumors aren't true.
I hope is a sweet man,who pardons teenagers for being late to Class.
I let out a sigh of relief when I got the door of the classroom, only fifteen minutes later.
I took a small peek into the room to see everyone's head buried into their ipads and the teacher reading from his.
Eastern is modernized school, instead of text books,we use iPads, which has all our books installed on it.
So no need to carry heavy textbooks.
I let out a breathe,
"You can do this Ireal. He is only a teacher,not a monster"I tell myself.
With a shaky head I opened the door,the cold air from AC hits my face.
All eyes suddenly turns to me including the teacher's.
Some are looking at me with pity, especially my friends and the others with humor.
"What do you want?"I gruff but husky sexy voice asks me and I turn my attention to the teacher who was glaring at me now.
Mr. Harrison.
Fuck,those eyes. Those beautiful grey eyes,I have never seen grey eyes like that in my life.
It is the darkest stormy grey eyes I have ever seen in my life and there a spark of blue hue in them.
His jaw line was defined,full lips, perfect cheek bone.
Fuck this man is a god. No wonder girls swoon over him. He indeed could be a model.
I see his fingers snapped Infront of me bringing me out of my reverie.
"What the fuck is wrong with you? You barged into the my class unannounced and I ask you a question you stand there like a dummy"he grits and my heart begins to race.
I hate being under pressure,I turn to have a panic attack.
"I..I am..sorry sir...I am..in this class"I stutter rubbing my sweaty palms against the my short skirt.
He lets out a sigh of frustration and irritation.
"Why are you late then?"he asks with a raised eyebrow.
"I...I..was in....I was stuck...stuck in the bathroom"I lied, looking down.
"Look at me when I speak to you"he suddenly shouts and I get startled.
My lips begun to tremble as I stare at him.
I don't like being yelled at,I am a cry baby. A big one at that.
"This is going to be your last warning. Get out of my sight " he hisses and I scarry to look for my seat.
Luckily my best friends had saved a seat beside them at the middle row,so I didn't have to embarrass my self any longer.
I put my bag on the hanger and take out my iPad.
I turn to look at Mr. Harrison and he was still glaring at me.
I gulped and looked back down.
"Since everyone is here,I am going to do the introduction"he says coming to stand Infront of the class in tight fitting pants and white shirt ironed to perfection.
His pants looks so tight,why is he a Elvis Presley wanna be.
He black hair is jelled to perfection,no fringes or lose strand anywhere.
"My name is Blake Harrison. I am going to be your history teacher for your senior year. I hate laziness and excuses. There is no such thing as an excuse, you should know the consequences of your actions. The classroom should always be cleaned before I get here. I hate imperfections and lateness,if you are late to my class don't come inside,stay out. Am I clear"he says to us
"Yes sir" we all say in unison.
"If you want to speak to me at the desk,stay at least three feet away from my desk. No eating in my class. Now if you have any questions ask" he says grabbing the attendance book.
Nobody says a word,the entire place was quiet like a cemetery.
You could hear the sound of the AC,
"Since nobody is going to ask questions then I am going to start with the attendance. If I mention your name just raise your hands"he says and begins with the names.
This man looks so out of place in this room but that doesn't fascinate me. He looks so familiar,like I have seen him some where before,I can't put a finger on.
I have never seen a male perfectionist before,well my dad like his things to be organized but he doesn't do it himself,mom does it for him.
But Mr. Harrison seems different,his suit jacket is perfect hanging behind the chair,the books on his desk has been perfectly arranged in order of sizes.
Pen holders contains pen neatly arranged and he has bottle of sparkling water on his desk,like dude, girls are the ones who do these things.
I was brought back from my thoughts by a tap on shoulders.
I looked to see it was Hunter tapping me,I raised an eyebrow at him and he pointed to fronted.
I gulped and looked ahead to see Mr. Harrison glaring at me with furious eyes.
"Miss Angelis,you come to my class late and when you are seated you are spacing out. I don't think you are ready for this class"he snaps at me and I lower my head.
"Stand up" his icy voice snaps and I shakily stand up with tears already gathered at my eyes.
"This going to be you last warning. The next time you space out of my class,you are going stand outside for rest of the semester. Am I clear"he sternly warns and I nod still with my head down.
"Look at him when I speak to you"he suddenly shouts and I get startled and begin to shake.
There it is,the tears started falling,as I sniffed softly.
He kept looking at me and he let out a sigh while I continue to wipe my tears.
"Sit down" he says more calmly this time and I sat down still wiping my tears.
"Shall we continue with the Civil War in 1861. Miss Angelis start reading to the class"he says and I looked at him in surprise and horror.
He only nods his head and perched his behind on the table.
I shakily tooks out my iPad and looked for the page on screen.
"We don't have all day Miss Angelis" he says and I nod.
Finally I scrolled to page ,
"The Civil War of 1861,it was fought between the years......" I read with a wobbly voice.
So much for a great day.
Song- Derniere Dansa by Indila.'You are a royal, duty and responsibility comes before fun and love' That has been my mother's mantra ever since I was 10 years old. I don't know maybe she watched Barbie too much.But everything she said is true. We don't always get what we want.Yesterday something in me wanted to die but I didn't allow it. Instead I shove it somewhere deep and put up my head up high.I should have listened to my mother. From now on wards my duty and and responsibility will always be my people.There is no room for anyone else.I cried yesterday,I didn't go out for dinner,I just gave dad the excuse of practicing my speech.I also told him about me moving to Kensington palace. He agreed on condition,that I visit regularly.I agreed, so today,on the day of my investiture,is my last day in Buckingham palace.I woke up extra early,my dress and accessories were already ready for me. The maids had already run my bath for me."Today is a great day"Claudia says smiling.I
Five Years Later"Attention!"the commander yells and everyone obeyed.Everyone was stiff including my siblings and I.Yes you guessed it right,I am back from Wales. I have been for a long time.

Today is truping the colors day,the monarch's birthday.But this year we aren't enjoying it and looking pretty with the rest of our family. We are matching. My siblings and I have been in the military for three years now and after today our service have ended.We are leaving as working Royals. It isn't really done,but for the first in history we are having a coronation,a coronation to crown the new Princess of Wales.It isn't really a coronation,it is called an investiture.It is happening tomorrow, right after this place we are going to Buckingham palace to prepare.Our titles have been publicly given to us. But I can
"And so it my greatest honor and privilege to accept this gifts and farewells. I would make sure to be the best princess of Wales in history and will be the a great Queen in the future to this faithful nations. Thank you"I smiled at the audience as they all begun to clap for me.I let out a sigh and took the bouquet of flowers from the lady and descended the stage with the help of my brother."You did great princess"he whispers and I smiled.I go and sit by my father who congratulated me with a hug and kiss. My mom on the other hand was busily scolding my sister."Shall we eat and make merry. A Toast to Princess Catherine,the princess of Wales and the future queen"dad says and we all raised our glass."Long live the king"we all say and took a sip of a wine.The rest of the banquet was pretty much boring.We returned home late in the evening and I sent Kevin a text to meet me at our usual place.Immediately I got home I went to my room with the excuse of having a headache.I changed in
"This place is very huge your highness,how do you not get lost"Daniel says as we walked on the corridors of the Palace."You'll get used to it when you stay here for long"I tell him."I guess you didn't expect your mom to let us talk alone" he smiles,"Nope,my mother...my mother is full of surprises"I tell him."Well she is. Like when told my parents she wants me to come ask for your hands in marriage from the king before you leave to Wales"he says and I immediately stopped in my tracks."What?!"I yell in surprise,I pulled away from him and stopped in my tracks."Yes. My mom is a good friend of yours. Her majesty thinks I am a suitable husband for you Catherine"he says."No. You are not going to do anything of that sort. She may be my mom but she doesn't control my personal life"I tell him."Well,I don't think that is a bad idea tho. I am handsome, good looking, properly trained and I am from a noble family. I would be a great king"he smirks and walks closer to me."Prince, Prince C
Kevin and I walked around the bank of the stream for a while before I was ready to go back home.I needed to leave before anyone notices I am gone. I sat back on my horse and rode back home. I sneaked back to my room with the help of Claudia again."Ma'am you need to take your bath,his majesty requests your presence immediately"she says immediately I entered my room."Thank you Claudia"I tell her with a small smile."You still don't look happy"she says putting my hair in a ponytail."Well yeah. Kevin has refused to come my dad. He thinks he'll reject his proposal,I really want to go to Wales with him"I sigh."Can I say something else princess?"she asks"Yes Claudia""Well,I think he doesn't love you enough to take that chance. I think you need to move on"she says and I frown.Maybe she is right.No. Kevin and I love each other. We have known each other since highschool. He loves me,he tells me everyday."I don't think so. Maybe he is just afraid. I'll talk to dad on his behalf"I tell
I hear movement in room in my room, I groan. I really hate disturbances, especially in the morning."Wake up your highness,his majesty requests your presence in the throne room immediately"I hear a voice whisper in my ears.I lazily opened my eyes to see my favorite personal help standing beside my bed."Good morning Claudia"I tell her as I sat up on my bed with a sigh."Good morning my princess. You need to hurry, your father wants to see you. Oh before I forget, Happy birthday. You are now 20 years"she giggles and pulls me out of bed."Yes twenty years of being stuck in this place whiles my mates have fun and enjoy their lives"I complain and went to stand by the window staring at the beautiful view of the gardens."Well, since you are now an adult maybe he'll finally let you go out and have fun. I admit Buckingham palace is kind of boring"she chuckles and helps me get out of my night gown."There is no way I'll be out of this place. The only way is if I am married,then I can finall
